Business Model Canvas
The Business Model Canvas (BMC) is a key tool that helps both start-ups and established businesses to analyse their operations in order to develop and innovate their business models.
Value Proposition
Your Value Proposition (VP) is the most fundamental aspect of your venture. Getting it right by understanding your customer needs, pains and gains will allow you to create successful solutions. Getting it wrong will lead to failure. Refine your VP using the VP canvas.
Proposition Statements
Once you have created a strong Value Proposition (VP) you need to communicate it with a clear, impactful Statement. This template helps you craft a statement that defines your unique offer, addresses stakeholder needs, and highlights what sets you apart.
Design Thinking
Design Thinking is a human-centred approach to innovation, focusing on understanding user needs (empathy), correctly defining the problem to be solved, and creating effective solutions that are iteratively tested through prototyping.
